1% tip, on expensive lunch. **and my rant on pay, gratuity, and salary jobs**

[benjamin-benjamin]

Still way too long to read...whats going on?

basically OP posted a hoax about a "tip" being written as "get a real job" which then started the rest of the conversations, in a nutshell
1. there are so many jobs that no one should work in food service and if they are it is "their fault"
2. tipping is stupid and if people don't like working for 2.13, then quit
3. People that go to church are all stingy people that don't tip
4. pretty that work in food service are lazy and unmotivated
5. any other stereotype or complete lack of compassion statements you can think of..

My family has a young lady friend that waits tables at a local little steak house. I once told her about a job opening where I work (OGE) and she very politely told me she and her husband had just built a new home and she just couldn't afford the pay cut...BTW..she was being paid 2.50 per hour...When I questioned her about her statement she then told me what her tips were for the past week: 1500 dollars and some change.Not one doubt in my mind that she was telling the truth...I certainly know what we tip her and she has lots of customers..One more point: she knows most of her customers birthdays, wedding anniversaries as well as other special days in their lives. She knows all this thru normal conversations and always sends cards. Kind of makes you feel special and gives you the desire to tip her very well.

I went to the range today and busted some caps while y'all were wasting time layin' them on the table to see who had the biggest percentage.

I went to the range AGAIN today and busted some MORE caps while y'all were STILL wasting time layin' them on the table to see who had the biggest percentage.

Ps. The receipt was a hoax

So do I JB, also the receipt may have been a hoax but at least the discussion we've had has helped us better understand how we all feel about other people.

You know, I agree with that wholeheartedly.

I've learned a few things from this thread.

The most important thing is, from now on I'm going to personally hand my tip to the waiter instead of leaving it on the table.

Thanks! I'm going to work on your keyrings this weekend too so hopefully will have them ready Monday or so.

Ya, I got that one too. I've done it before, but I think I'll be doing it every time now.
